5. Connect water line and pressure relief drain line
a.
Attach the HOT water supply line
to the ¾" threaded connection on
the HOT WATER VALVE using
thread sealant on the threads
of the water fitting. On US (union
sweat) models, detach the copper
tailpiece from the union assembly
and sweat to the hot water supply
line. Be sure to remove the
O-ring from the tailpiece before
seating. Allow tailpiece to cool before
reassembly to avoid damaging O-ring.
b.
Attach the COLD water supply line to the ¾" threaded con-
nection on the COLD WATER VALVE using thread sealant on
the threads of the water fitting. On US (union sweat) models,
detach the copper tailpiece from the union assembly and
sweat to the cold water supply line. Be sure to remove the
O-ring from the tailpiece before seating. Allow tailpiece to
cool before reassembly to avoid damaging the O-ring.
c.
Attach the drain line to the pressure relief valve and run line
per local code requirements.
6.
Start-up & Normal Operation
a.
Before turning on the supply water to the heater, make sure
that the main valve handles on both the hot & cold valves are
closed (Tee handle perpendicular to the main valve bodies).
Also ensure that the purge port valve caps are tightened down
and that the valves are in the closed position (Tee handle per-
pendicular to the purge port valve body). NEVER RELY ON
THE PURGE CAP TO STOP THE WATER FLOW.
b.
For water heater start-up, refer to the water heater owners’
manual.
c.
During normal operation, the main water valves are open
when the main valve handle is parallel with the main valve
body and closed when the main valve handle is perpendicular
to the main valve body.
d.
For the purge port valves, the purge port valve is open when
the slot is parallel with the purge port valve body and closed
when the slot is perpendicular to the purge port valve.
7. Inspection and Maintenance
a.
See tag attached to pressure relief valve for details.
WARNING: Hot water may be present in the system, use
extreme caution when servicing tankless water heater.
Hot water can cause personal injury, death and/or
property damage.
8. Drain/Flush Operation
Note: The following are suggested instructions for the use of
the service valves during draining and flushing of the tank-
less water heater. Please refer to the water heater owner’s
manual for specific instructions.
a.
Disconnect the power supply to the water heater.
b.
Close the main water valve handles on the cold water valve
(blue handle) and the hot water valve (red handle) by rotat-
ing each until they are perpendicular with the respective valve
body. This shuts off the incoming cold water to the water
heater and isolates the water heater from the hot water piping
within the rest of the home.
c.
The purge valve on the cold water valve (blue) is used as the
flushing inlet and the purge valve on the hot water valve (red)
is used for the flushing outlet or drain. Ensure that the purge
port is closed (Tee handle perpendicular to the purge port
valve body) before removing the purge port valve cap.
d.
Slowly open the drain caps on each purge port valve. Ensure
that the rubber washer stays in the cap.
e.
Continue with the manufacturer’s recommendations for
attachment of the lines and for specific draining and flush-
ing instructions. To open the purge port valves, the slots are
rotated so that they are parallel to the purge port valve body.
f.
When flushing is complete and before the lines are removed,
ensure that the purge port valves are closed. Remove the
lines and reinstall the purge port valve caps, ensuring that the
rubber washer is in the cap, and tighten.
